AN APPEAL 

The men of Great Britain 
with their Allies are fighting 
not only for their own exist- 
ence and to restore Belgium, 
but against the domination of 
militairism throughout — the 

Y world, 

From the English, Scotch and 
Irish many millions of our 
countrymen are decended, We 
speak the same language ; our 
graditions, standards and ideals 
are the same. 

In behalf of the soldiers and 
sailors at the the front and in 
the hospitals the British Am- 
erican war-relief fund issues 
this appearl to those who in 
this struggle sympathize with 
Great Britain. 

It asks for warm clothing, 
comforts and necessities. 

The articles required are 
mufflers, wristlets, socks, (size 
10 or 11), wovlen gloves (size 
9 and 10), abdominal belts, 
woolen helmets, colored hand- 
kerchiefs, woolen underdrawers, 
undershirts, cardigna jackets, 
sweaters, and tobacco, and for 
the hospitals, old linen, band- 
ages, antiseptic gauze and 
anestheties. 

The society has been in ex- 
istence only since October 20, 
but contributions have been re- 
ceived from nearly each state 
of the United States, from 
Canada and the West Indies. 

The articles already forwarda- 
ed have been acknowledged by 
Lord Kitchener in the follow- 
ing cablegram : 

_'First. consignment of “gifts 

from women of America for 

British on active service, re- 

ceived with much appreciation 

and gratitude. Letter follows,

“Secretary of State for War.” 

Any cash donation will be 
used in the purchase of these 
articles, 

All contributions in kind and 
allcommunications to be ad- 
dressed to Mrs. Ralph Sanger,

OF ALBERTA 


Our unions will remember 
that last yaar it was only after) 
some difficulty that we were 
able tosecure the special seed) 
grain rates from the railways. 
It appears that from. the 
cords of the railway companies, 
an altogether disproportionate 
amount of our total crop has 
been tendered to the railway 
companies as seed grain, show- 
ing very clearly that a good 
deal of fraudulent misrepre- 
sentation was being practised 
by certain parties in 
these cheap rates, 
words, the 
voluntarily granted by tie 
railways for the benefit of | 
farmers was being abused, not 
necessarily by the farmers) 
themselves, but by parties 
handling grain and seeking to 
take advantage of these special 
rates. 

In all probability, but for the! 
exceptional conditions which | 
prevailed in 1914, we would not} 
have been able 


re- 


getting | 
in plain| 


special privilege | 


to secure any 
special rates on seed grain from 
the railway companies at all,| 
but would have had to ship on} 
the rates fixed by the Board of 
Railway Commissioners in the 
Western Freight rates case, but, 


in view of the representations 


of the organized farmers. based 
on conditions prevalent in 1914, 
the three railways, C. P. R., 
C.N. R. and G.'T. P. have 
sued special seed grain tariffs 
which will be from 
Jan. 15th, 1915, covering special 


is- 
effective 
rates in carload quantities and 
less than carload quantities, for 


the carriage of grain, flax and 


| grass seed for seeding purposes. 


These special rates will be 
available to all bona fide far 
mers,

NEW POSTAL RATE 


Arrangements have been 
made whereby the ordinary 
rate of two cents per ounce ap- 
plicable to albletters sent from 
Canada to the United Kingdom, 
will apply to letters addressed 
to British and Canadian troops 
on the continent. The fate on 
ordinary letters from Canada 
for the continent is five cents 
for the first ounce, and three 
cents for each subsequent 
ounce, so that this extension of 
the two cents an ounce rate to 
soldiers on the continent, is @

correspondence going to the 
soldiers.

The Two Brothers 


Two brothers who lived in India ob- 

tained some land and began to prepare 
it for cultivation. But they were poor, 
and had no proper appliances. Their 
, plough was a very small one and the 
| work was so hard that at least one of 
the brothers said he should work oa 
the land no longer. - It was the rainy 
season, when the rivers are full of 
water and fish are found in abundance 
and the lazy brother went off fishing, 
although the other warned him that 
that would not last for ever, and he 
would regret it if he gave up the 
cultivation of the land. 

The industrious man went on. He 
worked day and  night—ploughing 
And all the time his lazy brother 
laughed at him, and urged him to give 


| it all up and come fishing. But the 


man stuck at it, with the result that 
by the end of the season he had a fine 
crop, and the land was in good order, 
ready for another sowing. 

By this time the dry season had

The court ladies of Japan have 
their own private apartments in the 
imperial palace precincts, each hay:

“hich are furnished in pure Japanese 
style with the usual tatami floo.s 
and beautiful natural wood finishings, 

In the dressing room stands a hand- 
some clothes rac: of varnishea cin- 
nabar, where their exquisite robes are 
draped, ready for use. Each court 
lady has her own separate kitches and 
can order food according to her 
taste. 

Within the palace inclosure are 
shops to supply the court ladies with 
the more common necessities of daily 
life. In the apartments of the court 
ladies are innumerable corridors and 
rooms; 80 that new maids take a very

Parisian cut, and others in exquisite 
native costumes, each with her at-

the scene is picturesque in the ex-

Train a Child to Help Itself 
Occasionally, one finds a- parent.who 


when a child asks for help.in solving | 


a problem will say, “Do it yourself.” 
Often a child keeps working away at 
a problem which he. cannot’ possibly 


solve because he has not been train- | 


ed properly. To‘say to su°h a chiid, 
“Do it yourself,” is often to discour- 
age him, and to cause him to waste 
time. 

There is a micdle course hetweea 
doing ‘nothing’ for the learner, and 
doing everything for him. This mia 
dle course is to cause him by appro- 
priate questions to take the necessary 
steps to help himself. This is really 
what teaching means, whether it b2 
fn the home or in the school. 

Telling is not teaching, and refus 
ing to give any assistance is not teach- 
ing. But to guide and stimula. the 
learner so that he can work his own 
way through problems is teaching.

The Way of the Frog 

The extent to which the actions of 
animals are determined by pure unrea- 
soning instinct is a matter of some 
dispute. It has been stated that a 
frog will snap at any small moving 
object regardles: of its character aad 
of hunger or satiety. Some experi- 
ments seem to indicate that the frog 
is_caoable of greater discrimination 
than has been credited to him, Thus, 
for example, a frog was offered hairy 
caterpillars, which it promptly seized 
and with equal promptness spat out 
again. But after about from four to) 
seven such injudicious attempt the} 
frog had learned his lesson, and there- | 
after refused similar fare. In another 
experiment earthworms were so con- 
nected with a source of electricity 
that the frog received a shock on 
touching the worm. The frog duly de- 
voured the prey and showcd no signs 
of ciscomfort. However, he refused 
for seven days to touch another 
species of worms. Similarly the frog 
could be taught to avoid ~orms on 
which oil of cloves or aclcium chloride 
had been spread, although such “doc- 
tored” prey was aot spit out, but only 
digested.

BLISTERS ON FEET

Skin Much Inflamed, Itched and

Victoria St., Thetford Mines West, Que, 
‘One day I was repairing a valve on top 
of a boiler when a steam pipe close to my 
feet burst scalding both. Blis- 
ters came on my feet and I 
could not wear my shoes. The 
skin was very much inflamed 
and it gave me such pain that 
I could not sleep at night. I 
was treated for ten days with 
no improvement so tried oint- 
ments but none did any good, 

“One day I came across the Cuticura 
advertisement and decided to try a sample. 
The Cuticura Soap and Ointment gave me 
such relief and stopped the itching and 
smarting so quickly that I bought a box 
of QCuticura Ointment and some more 
Cuticura Soap. Now the wounds are 
entirely healed and the scars have quite

An Obvious Truth 

Among those visiting an art exhibit: 
tion held recently in Cincinnati was 
an old German who wandered about, 
looking at the paintings with interest. 
“inally, he stopped before a portrait 
which showed a man sitting in + 
high-backed chair. Tacked to the) 
frame was a small white placard, | 
reading: “A portrait of J. F. Joner, | 
by himself.” | 

The aged Teuton read the card, and | 
then chuckled sarcastically: | 

“Vot fools is dese art beoples,” he 
muttered. “Anybcdy dot looks at dot | 
picture vould know dot Jones is by | 
himself. Nobovy else is in der pic- 
ture.” 


Wisdom and Heroism 


There is a good story toia of a 
sleight-of-hand performer who died 
some years ago. He toured around the 
world, and on one occasion was in far 
away New Zealand, It was arranged 
that he should give an exhibition of 
mind reading before the king of the 
Maories. | 
After some parleying it was decid- 
ed that the king himself should con-| 
ceal an article which the magician was | 
to discover, 

The mind reader left the room, and 
after a time was brought back bliod- 
folded. After some thinking, he de- 
clared that the missing article was in 
the king’s mouth. 

His majesty shook his head savage- 
ly in the negative. 

The magician insisted upon his 
point, and demanded that the king’s 
mouth be opened wide. The king re- 
fused. The magician still insisted, un- 
til the king reluctantly opened his 
aws. 

The article was not thére! The next 
instant, however, he was taken with a 
violent fit of coughing. He had tried 
to swallow the concealed article, a 
button, but could not, and was com- 
pelled to cough it up. 

The Maories were delighted. They 
did not kno wwhich to admire more— 


the wisdom of the magician or the 
heroism of the king. 


Quid Pro Quo 

A good story is toid of Join Me- 
Cormack, the singer, the scene of 
which was in Victoria, B.C, From 
the boat to the Empress Hotel is less 
than a block. Mr. McCormack was 
not aware of the distance, so he and 
his wife took a cab, arriving at their 
destination in a minute. 

“How much?” said he to the driver. 

Cabby: “Dollar and a half.” 

“Pretty steep, isn’t it?” asked Mc- 
Cormack. 

“That's what I have to pay for your 
records,” said Mr. Cabman, who had 
overheard the name of the man who 
was billed to sing there that night. 

McCormack paid and thought it a 
good joke,

THE KAISER’S MANNER OF WARFARE 


“TO PARIS 


Twilight has driven its shadows, 
Within the rest-giving glades, 
Counselling retreat ‘mong the 

echoes, 
Away from the front barricades; 
Sleep, like an angel of mercy, 
Flutters an hour or two, 
Over the whole battalion, 
Poising to bid it adieu. 


Then, as if 'twere a moment, 
The silver threads of the dawn 
Tickle the eyes of the soldiers, 
To tell them of sleep come and 
gone; 
Instant. the lines range in silence, 
Awaiting the foe to appear, 
Watching the lar-away hill-crest, 
To stay his onward career,

Still scanning the fringe of the 
sky-line

“Their line is

“Stead

“They have lines beyond for

Wrath has its war-engines ready, 
Eager the word to obey:— 
“Marksmen, give heed to ycur eye-

“And hold the rascals at bay!” 
“Fire!” and the roar of destruct'on 
Litters the brow of the h‘li, 
Sweep after flash a-followiog, 
With nothing to do but to kill. 


Lo! and behind comes a filling 
Of gaps in the .taggering line; 
And again the sweep of the marks-

Fulfils its deadly design:

“One is to employ troops in masses and the other is to fight in extended 


order. 


The former is the German method, It is immensely costly in life, 


but our opponents can affori it for two reasons, namely, their immease 
superiority of numbers, apd the fact that their men are so disciplined 
to mechanical obedience that they fight best when closely held togeth- 


er under the personal command of their officers, 


In other words, the 


generalship of the French and British allies is to save the lives of the 
men under command as far as possible, whereas the generalsbip of the 
Germans is to sacrifice life ad libitum, in victory or defeat. Is the Kaiser 


a Teuton marauder resuscitated from 


the centuries of mediaevalism? 


The Moratorium | 
Commenting upon the news of the 
aggressive demand being made in 
Western Canadian provinces for a 
moratorium respecting mortgages the 
London Globe says: 
“Financial circles here regard the 
proposal with grave distrust unless it 


comes from the older eastern pro- 
vinces. 

‘rhe Globe continues: “The loan) 
companies, and also life insurance) 


companies, have very large funds in- 
vested in Canadian mortgages, and 
Canadian loan companies have issued 
debentures in Great Britain aggregat- 
ing eighty million dollars. British in- 
vestors claim that a moratorium is 
unnecessary since collections have 
continued fairly normal, and they are 
willing from self interest alone to 
deal leniently with borrowers of good 
standing who find themselves in tem- 
porary difficultes.” 

The financial editors of other Lon- 
don papers consider if a moratorium 
is declared it would be a nasty jar to 
Canadian credit. 


“Frenzied Finance” 


The Prince of Wales will have 
Prince Alexander of Battenberg for 
a brother officer in the Grenadier 
Guards. Prince Aleaxnder is the 
eldest of Princess Beatrice’s three 
sons, and a brother of the Queen of 
Spain. It is of Prince Alexander that 
the story is told how, when a small | 
school boy, he wrote to his grand- 
mother, Queen Victoria, asking tor | 
“slight pecuniary assistance.” The 
Queen wrote him rebuking him for!| 
his extravagance. Shortly afterwards 
he acknowledged the letter in these 
terms: “Dear grandmother, I am 
sure you will be glad to know that I 
need not trouble ~ for any money 
just now, for I sold your last letter to 
another boy for thirty shillings,” 


A Profusion of Telephones 
There are in Stockholm about 
eighty thousand telephone subscribers 
for a population of a little over three 


hundred and fifty thousand, or one’ 


for every four and a half inhabitants. 
Practically speaking, there is not a 
person in Stockholm who has not the 
telephone or who cannot be reached 
by it. The telephone exists not only 
in nearly every house and every shop, 
even the humblest, but in most houses 
on every floor, and in hotels they 
are in every room in the establish- 
ment. In the principal streets and 
thoroughferes there are telephone 
kiosks which any passerby ca. en- 
ter and use by dropping a penny in 
the slot. 


To Correct German ignorance 

A Reuter’s despatch from The 
Hague says a Dutch company has 
been formed, under the presidency of 
Dr, Fruin, keeper of the state archives 
with the purpose of restoring the lib- 
rary at Louvain which was destroyed 
by the Germans. Many of the coun-

invited to participate.

Electricity Used For Flashing Signals 

One of the interesting ways in 
which electricity is used is that of 
flashing signals, These signals are 
used by day as Well as by night, and 
they go upon their missions with the 
rapidity and certainty of thcught. 
They come from powerful little 
searchlights mounted upon the field 
glasses of the signaler, and their en- 
ergy is derived from a series of dry 
batteries strapped to the soldier's 
belt, 

Out of the murky, silent, heavy 
night, leaps a tiny pencil of powerful 
light, quivers a moment, and then 
all is black again. Once, twice, 
thrice, this little beam is shot dan.z- 
ing over the night air to a point six 
miles away, where, in fractions of a 
minute, it is sent on again. It is 
the signal for a night attack over 560 
miles of battle front, and in 6 few 
minutes the little speed messenger 
has delivered its orders.

“During the two years of my train 
ing as a nurse, while on night duty, 
I became addicted to coffee drinking. 
Between midnight and four in’ the 
morning, when the patients were 
asleep, there was little to uo except 
make the rounds, and it was quite 
natural that I should want a hot cup 
of coffee about that time. I coulu 
keep awake better, 

“After three or four years of coffee 
drinking I became a nervous wreck 
and thought that I simply could not 
live without my coffee. Al! this time 
I wag subject to frequent bilious at 
tacks, sometimes so severe as to keep 
me in bed for several days. (Tea is} 
just as injurious as coffee because 
both contain the drug caffeine). 

“After being married, Husband beg-
